I am looking for a few articles on boxing that I have around the house....hopefully the wife didn't toss em. I remember reading about this in at least two of the old issues of Ninja Magazine I had and there was also one in an Aikido mag i had someplace. If not I see if they may be available...

Since my teacher went back to Japan I would rather not say....as I no longer train with Bujinkan at this time. Our Training hall was closed up and mats and store sold to other training halls throughout the area. (been 5yrs at least) There is another Bujinkan that has started up here but the...

Unfortunatly not in my area. In my area many boxing gyms are closing. Boxing gyms are not as common as they once were. It is not politcally correct to have one of these gyms anymore. I have trained in a boxing gym. The boxers I fought against did not realize how hard I could hit even with pads...

Thanks for the advice it worked. My friend also suggested to use a towel as a backround and that also has worked much better. A neutril sheet also works quite well. If you want I can post a pic here or you can see my Favorite Mini's I painted post on this board. You guys rock, Darius

Last one for a while.... This is a ghost/spectre from an old Ral Partha set I also painted this one about 12yrs ago. I finished this one with the same finish as the dwarf and after hours and hours of use the paint has not come off at all. I even dropped this one on cement to my horror and the...

My favorite Dwarf that I painted about 12yrs ago. I used Mike Mcvey's advice published in a book called Fantasy Miniatures published in 1989. I remember that it took me about 3 hours to paint this little guy. The paint has not faded or worn off even with hours of D&D play. I sealed it with a...

Here are some of my mini's that I painted. I will try to explain and answer any questions you have about them. This first one is a Barbarian that I copied off of a fiends mini. His had white trim and mine is a light blue. I did it as an excersize to see if I could paint as well as him. Then...

I wouldn't consider boxing as Self -Defense for a number of reasons. #1 Boxing will not teach you what to do if a guy tackles you. #2 Boxing will not teach you what to do against the muggers favorite weapons ..namely guns and knives. #3 boxing is ineffective when a mugger has two or more...

Huh? ....what was that all about? This part will be deleted in 24hrs unless you guys feel it should stay.... First I chose to train that way ..hell i asked for it. It tested my mind, body and spirit. I wouldn't trade that for anything. I never got sick in the training area because to me...

Yeah the flash was used on two of the pictures. The other one turned out all whited out couldn't use it at all. I placed the figure on a white box on my bookshelf and photgraphed it straight on. I did use a flash and if you want I can post more pics on what not to do than what is the correct...

Most of the people I know have been using inks. One friend taught me to be patient and if I ink a recess not to worrry about spill over. He told me to use a dry brush to soak up the excess on the edges. This has been good advice so far. I have not had a bit of trouble getting ink to do what I...

Sorry that was the first picture I ever took of a mini....just wanted to say hey i did it.... Thanks Mark, I am going to start my own thread when my batteries get recharged. Took 5 pictures and this was the only one that turned out good. Really not trying to hijack a thread at all. I was just...

Kail, No offense taken at all. Very good post by the way. Darius

Actually size will not matter....in Tai Chi my very good friend and fellow Martial artist is about 325 pounds. He and I have found that with Tai Chi our metabolism has speeded up. Look at the link I posted earlier for some recommended reading if you want more material and some things off the...
